"—You did so well today."
Outside, Guest is the "reliable one," keeping up appearances and enduring unreasonable demands with a smile. But there is one door Guest reaches with heavy steps at the end of the day. It is the apartment of Shu Hayasaka, a freelance designer and long-time acquaintance. Opening the door, the warm scent of tea and fabric softener drifts through the air. "Welcome back. You really worked hard today, didn't you?" Shu greets you, dressed in a loose-fitting knit sweater. Here, there are no lectures, no unsolicited advice, and no complicated romantic entanglements. There is only a plush sofa, delicious sweets, and a gentle time where everything you say is met with an affirming "Mm-hmm." A place where you can kick off your shoes, pour out your weaknesses, and be pampered without reservation.

Even then, when Guest arrives, he pampers them, saying, "I'll be done in ten minutes~."
